Joint Distributions of Arbitrary Variables Made Easy
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we propose a simple framework for studying certain distributions of variables beyond time-frequency and time-scale. When applicable, our results turn the theory of joint distributions of arbitrary variables into an easy exercise of coordinate transformation. While straightforward, the method can generate many distributions previously attainable only by the general construction of Cohen, including time versus inverse frequency, time versus Mellin transform (scale), and time versus chirp distributions. In addition to providing insight into these new signal analysis tools, warp-based distributions have efficient implementations for potential use in applications.

Joint Distributions for Arbitray Variables
Absf~act We compare the methods of Cohen and 2. REVIEW OF THE TWO METHODS of Baraniuk and Jones-for obtaining joint distributions for arbitrary variables. We show that the two methods produce identical results for variables whose associated operators are obtained via a unitary transformation of the time and frequency operators. In addition, we generalize this result and show that all pairs of v...
متن کاملDistributions of the Ratios of Independent Kumaraswamy Variables and System Reliability Applications
In this article, first of all, the Kumaraswamy distribution is introduced. Then, the joint and marginal distributions of W = X1/X2 and T = X1/X1+X2 where X1 and X2 are independent Kumaraswamy random variables, are obtained and the moments of these random variables are computed. The distribution of random variables W and T can be used in reliability studies and statistical models...
متن کاملOn the Equivalence of the Operator and Kernel Methods for Joint Distributions of Arbitrary Variables - Signal Processing, IEEE Transactions on
Generalizing the concept of time-frequency representations, Cohen has recently proposed a method, based on operator correspondence rules, for generating joint distributions of arbitrary variables. As an alternative to considering all such rules, which is a practical impossibility in general, Cohen has proposed the kernel method in which different distributions are generated from a fixed rule vi...

متن کاملOrdered Random Variables from Discontinuous Distributions
In the absolutely continuous case, order statistics, record values and several other models of ordered random variables can be viewed as special cases of generalized order statistics, which enables a unified treatment of their theory. This paper deals with discontinuous generalized order statistics, continuing on the recent work of Tran (2006). Specifically, we show that in general neither re...
